" For anyone who is put off by changing blades, it's important to
remember how fresh, sharp blades impact the overall use of the
machine, " she continued.
Ryan slicers feature guarding, safety interlock switches and brakes
on blade motors to ensure safety. Part of that safety feature is keeping
the machine clean. Frequent cleaning becomes even more important
when slicing stickier loaves of specialty breads such as keto and
gluten-free varieties. Daily cleaning and inspection are also necessary
for identifying issues before they become a bigger problem, according
to Ryan.
" Slice quality diminishes with a dirty blade, " she continued. " A
conveyor belt not running centered could create excessive ware, as
could a loose screw or fitting. These issues can all be caught and
addressed with daily inspections during cleaning. "
Working in collaboration
The right bakery equipment should help bakers level up, whether that's
automating to speed up processes, expanding operations or as a laborsaving
tool. This is why equipment suppliers want to help customers
find solutions that enable them to move to the next level of business.
While this is a process that can take many twists and turns, it often
starts simply - with a conversation and some questions.
Some of these questions include identifying production needs and
knowing the focus of the bakery to determine how the right equipment
can improve the focus on the core product category. Johnson
recommends choosing a bakery slicer based on what the baker hopes
to accomplish with the slicer. Then, consider the space where the slicer
will be used and where the slicing will take place. For instance, is the
slicer meant to be out-of-sight in the production area or will the slicing
be part of the bakery experience where a consumer can choose a loaf,
and have it sliced in front of them?
In Baker's Insight, a digital resource for the modern baker, Erika
Record Baking Equipment, West Caldwell, N.J. offered some additional
advice on how bakers and suppliers can work together to create optimal
outcomes. This includes identifying the business goals as a way to
reduce costly overspending and ensure equipment is the best fit for the
production flow.
Streamline the approach
Bread is a staple food and bakery slicers are staple equipment in the
bakery. Working closely with a bakery equipment supplier can help
determine the right slicer for your bakery, one that's easy to use and
easy to clean and maintain that will also help combat labor shortages.
" We want this to be a collaborative conversation, " Johnson said. " Tell
us about your bakery and who you serve in your community. We want
to know what's working and what's not working. By understanding your
evolving challenges and pain points, we can introduce solutions that
can help you meet your needs. "
